Community Projects & Charities
As part of our commitment to the community, we regularly donate
to various charities, not for profit organisations and community
projects.
Our community support includes the following initiatives:
- Each month we nominate a charity to support, hold morning tea
and all staff make a gold coin donation to the nominated charity.
The charities we have supported include Beyond Blue, the National
Breast Cancer Foundation, Movember and Genes for Jeans Day.
- Each year we hold an Annual Client Dinner, through which we
raise funds to support not for profit organisations and community
projects. This includes $14,000 donated to Open Family Australia in
2008 and over $13,000 donated to Save the Children in 2007. In
2009, we raised over $30,000 for Good Shepherd Youth and Family
Services, which was redirected by Michael Yore of Good Shepherd to
the Red Cross for the Black Saturday Bush Fire Appeal.
- Our firm and our people donate annually to the Smith Family
Christmas Toy Appeal.
- We support other charities and causes on an as needs
basis.
In addition, we have established a working group to develop and
refine our community initiatives. The team is implementing new
systems and processes to achieve that goal and enhance our
community support.
